I spent a delightful afternoon today describing my bowel movements in great detail to a complete stranger. It’s not as bad as it sounds, really!  I paid the guy to let me do it! … Ok, let me try again here. So, for the last week, I’ve noticed some rather worrying health problems starting to ...

Day 348 of 1827: Trading Time for Money

One of the best things about being your own boss is getting to ask yourself every morning when you wake up, “Do I feel like making money today?” One of the worst things about being your own boss is that it is really difficult to say “no” to that question! I spent the last few ... Read More
